Lupin Organizes Musical Session

KGPite's spouses are more active than ever. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why we like them so much. A gala musical program was organized by Lupin Chatterjee on 11/28/00. It was held at Alok and Lupin's home in Irvine. Over a hundred guests were present to witness the singing debut of their fifteen year old daughter Anurupa (Rimi), a student of Usha Sathe of the Kirana Gharana. Rimi, as we all fondly call her, gave a stellar performance, delighting the gathering with her semi classical renderings. Rimi was accompanied on the tabla by Siddharth Jain, a fifteen year old prodigy and a disciple of the maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain. Their performance would provide definite impetus and encouragement for the younger generation to get involved in the fine art of Indian music. The musical session, continued with other accomplished singers like Arijit Bal, Aparna Chakrabarty, Ashok Talwar, Suresh Makhijani and our own Lupin & Alok. Samar Das provided an excellent Tabla support throughout the evening for these singers. Dinner was catered by India Cook House in Irvine. Alok and Lupin would like to make this annual event and would encourage IIT KGP talent to get involved.
